aptitude-create-state-bundle — bundle the current aptitude state
aptitude-create-state-bundle [options...] output-file
aptitude-create-state-bundle produces a compressed archive storing the files that are required to replicate the current package archive state. The following files and directories are included in the bundle:
$HOME/.aptitude
/var/lib/aptitude
/var/lib/apt
/var/cache/apt/*.bin
/etc/apt
/var/lib/dpkg/status
The output of this program can be used as an argument to aptitude-run-state-bundle(1).
--force-bzip2Override the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default, aptitude-create-state-bundle uses bzip2(1) if it is available, and gzip(1) otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of bzip2 even if it doesn't appear to be available.
--force-gzipOverride the autodetection of which compression algorithm to use. By default, aptitude-create-state-bundle uses bzip2(1) if it is available, and gzip(1) otherwise. Passing this option forces the use of gzip even if bzip2 is available.
--helpPrint a brief usage message, then exit.
--print-inputsInstead of creating a bundle, display a list of the files and directories that the program would include if it generated a bundle.
